The upstream devs always name the new binary "plink" but they recommend to
rename it to "plink2" and the old plink to "plink1" to avoid the name
conflict. So, I rename the binary plink2 for the new version and maybe we
can also rename the first plink from "p-link" to "plink1" with a symbolic
link to "p-link" to avoid problem for our users which already use the name
"p-link". What do you think?

Best regards,
Dylan
